We can break 'taking off' into:
(i) Stalling; and
(ii) Excessive Wobbling.

Having an improper action of the throttle and the clutch is the most common problem. It is difficult to get these to synchronise properly but that takes time so Just relax. If we don’t get them correct most of the time the result is

STALLING

Without going to the full intro as to how a clutch works, you only need to begin to feel and realise the difference between releasing the clutch to the ‘friction point’ and releasing it completely. This takes time to get ultra precise, but what you are doing is allowing the engine and the bike speed to match up. This happens when you are in the friction zone. When you release the clutch all the way the engine must go the same speed as the wheel and in most cases, the speed is not enough and the engine says I cannot push all that force and it stalls. How to prevent that. Try the following. Start by keeping the clutch lever all the way in (that is closest to the left handlebar), and without freaking out, realise that you can rev the engine and the bike does not move. Ok great, that is because there is as yet no clutch release. Before doing the clutch just get used to throttling on and holding, and then rolling off. Repeat. Then when you are ready, hold the throttle to rev the engine to a constant rpm and keep it there. Then just slowly release the clutch until the bike moves and then HOLD the clutch at that point. There is no pressure to release it either partially or fully. Just hold it there and its all fine. Keep your left leg down and walk it along until you are comfortable to bring it up. Try to avoid pushing up with your leg off the ground.

OK the bike still stalls.

There are two reasons for this. Either your throttle has dropped off a little (or a lot) or you have gone out too far with the clutch lever and too quickly. They are the only two options (except if you are trying to start in second gear because you forgot to change back down to first). To fix this stalling, even if your throttle does drop off a little, by trying to develop a gentler clutch release, in the order of millimetres, you can make it work. Do this action first with the bike’s engine off and just get used to the movement of your left hand on the clutch lever to that small degree.

OK, I am unable to release the clutch gently.

You may have not be used to taking off and keeping your body from lagging behind the bike. Say your clutch release is too far, the bike will take off quickly without you being ready. When this happens the bike in a sense, takes off without you. Your arms get pulled back to a full lock position which automatically makes you tense and to possibly as a reflex release the clutch lever too far. A gentle take off avoids this problem, but the way to eliminate this is to be ready for the forward movement; and not by hanging on tightly either  just in case you thought that. No you must just relax your arms. Now try pre-empting the take off by relaxing a little with your upper body just a little leaning forward to absorb the acceleration and avoid being pulled back. As you improve you will naturally do this at the same time as taking off and appropriate it to according to the spiritedness of your take-off.

EXCESSIVE WOBBLE ON TAKE-OFF

This is a result of a few things. Being ‘nervous as’ is one. The second is because you are so tense, you are actually over-steering the bike (ie more than it needs) and then having to correct your own over-steering which can result in a bad habit where you believe that you have to steer the bike excessively to keep it under control as if it were a wild stallion. Relaxing arms helps here, but the bigger thing that helps is taking off quickly and getting speed and feeling the speed stabilise the bike rather than your steering. Steering should almost be totally relaxed. As you practise this you will automatically begin to find the right handlebar positon to get a straight take off. Since the bike is leant a little to the left from the vertical when stationary, you can turn the front wheel a little to adjust and this you will just learn by trial and error and then begin to do naturally.

Q: I am still wobbling.?

A: “Just Relax”

Q: Yes, but I am still wobbling.?

One cause of this wobbling is trying to pick up your left foot off the ground and onto the peg too quickly; that is before you have enough speed. Just keep your left leg on the ground and just walk it along until you get some speed. When you pick up your leg too quickly, your body tenses and it makes a chain reaction of movement through your whole body flowing through your arms to the bike. This may cause the bike to change course and cause you to tense up your arms attempting to steer the bike straight, falling into the over-steering situation just described above. In reality, you just need to relax. Now remember, when we say walk your left leg, try to avoid pushing up with your leg off the ground.
